Warren Buffet is no dummy. Obviously.
Before the first day of the tourney ended, less than 1/2 of 1% of all entries were still perfect. Hell, less than half of all entries were still alive after game #1 of the whole tournament.
Thanks tOSU! :lol:
I believe there were 16 entries still alive around 2:00 on Friday...then 11 entries....then 8......and then Memphis won and it was all over. Nobody is still eligible. Buffet wins, we lose, again.




BUT


Then there is this guy. He has a perfect bracket that is registered on a legit site (yahoo). He has picked every...single...game...correctly.
:shock:
This has been a crazy-ass tourney - and has picked every single game.

Except he didn't register these picks in the billion dollar challenge! :shock: :shock:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :? :|

That would be the biggest fuckup in the history of the world. (Of course it won't happen...)

Here is that guy's twitter account:

People aren't very kind to strangers on the internet, which was a surprise to me.

Getting through day one perfect doesn't get you anything in the contest, anyway, does it?

Clearly not, as you say (I saw one estimate at 1 in 9.2 quintillion) ... for fun though, let's say some dope gets it all right but didn't put his name in the hat ... does Warren throw the guy a bone? Does he choose to on his own, or does he wait for the general public to lean on him? Does he stick with 'tough titty said the kitty'? Which is best long-term for him? I don't see why he would; he has no real need of good vibes with the non-0.1%ers of the world I wouldn't think.

No, but something like.....15 million people entered and nobody made it through 2 days.
ESPN also reported 0 correct brackets so far.

This guy is the only one perfect on yahoo.

He'd probably pay the dudes tax bill for the year provided it isn't more than his secretary's.

The guy's got Michigan St. Vs Michigan for the Championship. No way he'd get that.

And he lost one of his final four (Oregon), so chances are your bracket will have more points than he will at the end of the day. :)
